Purple Flame

Cassandra Purple Flame

Cassandra is a fifteen-year-old girl living the life of a forty-five- year-old woman raising 5 children, one of whom she actually gave birth to. Born and raised in one of Kingston's harshest slum she is determined not to become the stereotypical defini- tion of the 'ghetto girl'. She craves more and she will have it, all while battling sexual, emotional and physical abuse. A product of what can happen when the abused becomes the abuser, she is resolute in breaking the cycle.
